Anyone who thinks like the person you described already thought like that long before Trump.

I once had a conversation with a managing director at a major financial firm you've all heard of who insisted nothing like the United Fruit scandal could ever happen again because the media would let us know about it.

The media mostly exists to keep the faithful faithful, and even they are saying the Flynn charges are nothing in certain mainstream outlets.

So don't worry about the media. Instead, join things like pol's iotbw campaign, or their new Merry Christmas campaign. Become your own guerilla media.
